• A sample of worksheets

  • An introduction to the practical issues in database design.
  • In this unit you are going to consider how a theatre might use ICT to help them plan a production.
  • In this case study you will explore ICT systems within the context of designing a new water ride in a theme park. big grin

    The ride must be water-based and involve some kind of boat or raft. The design of the boat is not important; the focus is on developing a
    ride with one or more boats moving through a water channel safely and under control. The system could involve a feedback loop.

    You will assess the requirements of a new ride, then plan and develop a safety control system.

    The work provides you with the opportunity to evaluate the use of technology and reflect on its use in other situations. You will develop your abilities to plan, build, test, evaluate and document their use of control systems, as well as extending their skills in using sensors and control software.

    Finally, you may be required to create an appropriate presentation to be shown to the park manager, outlining the features of the ride and how safety components have been included.

  • A number of quizzes to assess the level.
